I have an 81 XS650, pods and Mikes Reverse Cone mufflers. Jets are as follows: Main jet 142.5, Pilot Jet of 45, Air Jet 27.5
The bike starts easily enough but the right cylinder won't fire unless reved above 3K (and even so not every time). When I do this, that pipe will start to backfire a bit and eventually start going.
My spark is good (running a Pamco). I have pulled the carbs and cleaned out the jets and what everything else I can see (I have not done a full soak and rebuild yet). I have not played with the floats either. Could either of those things be causing this issue or does anyone have any other ideas I should try first?
